DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Project No. 12766-000]
Green Mountain Power Corporation; Notice of Authorization for
Continued Project Operation
On November 22, 2019, Green Mountain Power Corporation, licensee
for the Clay Hill Road Line 66 Transmission Project No.12766, filed an
Application for a New License for the project pursuant to the Federal
Power Act (FPA) and the Commission's regulations thereunder. The Clay
Hill Road Line 66 Transmission Line Project is located along Clay Hill
Road in Windsor County, Vermont.
The license for Project No. 12766 was issued for a period ending
November 30, 2021. Section 15(a)(1) of the FPA, 16 U.S.C. 808(a)(1),
requires the Commission, at the expiration of a license term, to issue
from year-to-year an annual license to the then licensee(s) under the
terms and conditions of the prior license until a new license is
issued, or the project is otherwise disposed of as provided in section
15 or any other applicable section of the FPA. If the project's prior
license waived the applicability of section 15 of the FPA, then, based
on section 9(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 558(c),
and as set forth at 18 CFR 16.21(a), if the licensee of such project
has filed an application for a subsequent license, the licensee may
continue to operate the project in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the license after the minor or minor part license
expires, until the Commission acts on its application. If the licensee
of such a project has not filed an application for a subsequent
license, then it may be required, pursuant to 18 CFR 16.21(b), to
continue project operations until the Commission issues someone else a
license for the project or otherwise orders disposition of the project.
If the project is subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is
hereby given that an annual license for Project No. 12766 is issued to
Green Mountain Power Corporation, for a period effective December 1,
2021 through November 30, 2022, or until the issuance of a new license
for the project or other disposition under the FPA, whichever comes
first. If issuance of a new license (or other disposition) does not
take place on or before November 30, 2022, notice is hereby given that,
pursuant to 18 CFR 16.18(c), an annual license under section 15(a)(1)
of the FPA is renewed automatically without further order or notice by
the Commission, unless the Commission orders otherwise.
If the project is not subject to section 15 of the FPA, notice is
hereby given that Green Mountain Power Corporation is authorized to
continue operation of the Clay Hill Road Line 66 Transmission Line
Project, until such time as the Commission acts on its application for
a new major license.
Dated: December 9, 2021.
Debbie-Anne A. Reese,
Deputy Secretary.
